Former Rochdale Securities Trader Arrested
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 04, 2012
David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Kimberly K. Mertz, Special Agent in Charge of the New Haven Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, announced that David Miller, 40, of Rockville Centre, New York, was arrested today on a federal criminal complaint charging him with wire fraud. The complaint alleges that Miller engaged in a fraud scheme relating to large purchases of stock in Apple Inc. while he was employed as an institutional sales trader for Rochdale Securities LLC of Stamford.
"As alleged, this defendant orchestrated the unauthorized purchase of approximately $1 billion of Apple stock in a fraudulent get-rich-quick scheme that backfired, causing massive losses for his employer," stated U.S. Attorney Fein. "I commend the FBI, with the substantial assistance of the SEC and FINRA, for its rapid response and for bringing this defendant to justice. The U.S. Attorney's Office and our many partners on the Connecticut Securities, Commodities, and Investor Fraud Task Force are committed to protecting investors and the integrity of American capital markets. This investigation is ongoing."
"As is so often seen in these types of cases, the alleged criminal conduct of Miller was for personal gain at the expense and detriment of others," stated FBI Special Agent in Charge Mertz. "Manipulating and orchestrating stock transactions in such a manner is a very serious criminal offense and its impact can be both devastating and lasting. Today's arrest underscores the FBI's commitment to investigating this and all types of securities fraud in our nation's stock markets."
As alleged in the criminal complaint, Miller schemed to defraud Rochdale Securities LLC (Rochdale) by executing a trade to buy 1,625,000 shares of stock in Apple Inc. (Apple) on October 25, 2012, the day Apple was scheduled to announce its earnings for the quarter. The scheme was designed so that Miller would profit if the stock price rose after Apple announced its earnings later that day. In falsely representing to Rochdale that he was simply executing a customer order, Miller misrepresented that the customer was at risk of loss if the trade proved unprofitable, when he knew that it was Rochdale that would bear the risk of loss. When the stock price declined after the earnings announcement, Rochdale's customer stated it had only ordered 1,625 shares of Apple. Miller falsely claimed that he had made a mistake in ordering many multiples of what was written in a client's order.
As a result of this scheme, Rochdale was left holding more than 1.6 million shares of Apple stock. It promptly traded out of the position but suffered losses of approximately $5 million.
While he was executing the scheme at Rochdale, it is alleged that Miller defrauded another broker-dealer into taking on a significant short position in Apple stock. Through a series of misrepresentations made over the course of several weeks, Miller convinced the broker-dealer to sell 500,000 shares of Apple stock, falsely claiming that he was trading for the account of a company that, in reality, he had no relationship with and for which he was not authorized to trade. It is alleged that Miller engaged in this part of the scheme to hedge against the large purchase of Apple stock he was executing at Rochdale. As a result of the scheme, Miller placed the broker-dealer at risk of sustaining substantial losses.
Miller surrendered today to the FBI in Bridgeport. He appeared before United States Magistrate Judge Holly B. Fitzsimmons in Bridgeport and was released on a $300,000 bond.
The charge of wire fraud carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.
U.S. Attorney Fein stressed that a complaint is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
U.S. Attorney Fein acknowledged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for their substantial assistance and cooperation during the investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Paul A. Murphy.
In December 2010, the U.S. Attorney's Office and several law enforcement and regulatory partners announced the formation of the Connecticut Securities, Commodities, and Investor Fraud Task Force, which is investigating matters relating to insider trading, market manipulation, Ponzi schemes, investor fraud, financial statement fraud, violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and embezzlement. The task force includes representatives from the U.S. Attorney's Office; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation; U.S. Secret Service; U.S. Postal Inspection Service; U.S. Department of Justice's Criminal Division, Fraud Section, and Antitrust Division; U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC); Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP); Office of the Chief State's Attorney; State of Connecticut Department of Banking; Greenwich Police Department; and Stamford Police Department.
Citizens are encouraged to report any financial fraud schemes by calling, toll free, 855-236-9740 or by sending an e-mail to email@example.com.
Today's announcement is part of efforts underway by President Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF), which was created in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys' offices and state and local partners, it is the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory, and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud. Since its formation, the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state, and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions, and other organizations. Over the past three fiscal years, the Justice Department has filed more than 10,000 financial fraud cases against nearly 15,000 defendants including more than 2,700 mortgage fraud defendants.

True Potential Investments currently works with these world-class investment fund managers:
UBS Asset Management is a large-scale asset manager offering a comprehensive range of active and passive investment styles and capabilities, across both traditional and alternative asset classes. These include equity, fixed income, currency, hedge fund, real estate, infrastructure and private equity investment capabilities that can also be combined in multi-asset strategies.
Allianz has two management teams, based in Germany, who bring different outlooks and processes into play. One decides on how much risk is acceptable while the other manages investments within the set risk parameters using passive investments that are bought and sold to track the return of an index, for example the FTSE 100, rather than to beat it.
Close Brothers' investment style is directly buying into company shares, fixed interest investments and other non-traditional areas such as precious metals, commodities, infrastructure and hedge funds. This approach is similar to that of a stockbroker putting together an investment portfolio and managing this on behalf of a client and is a very focused investment solution.
Columbia Threadneedle investments are suited to clients seeking to generate regular income payments whilst preserving the value of their capital, in real terms, over the medium to long-term. Columbia Threadneedle invests primarily in equities both in the UK and Globally, focusing on those with a high dividend yield and growth.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management has two offerings. Their Dynamic investment approach is run by a team of internationally-renowned experts who evaluate patterns of asset class behaviour, and the drivers behind them, to form a balanced portfolio that includes exposure to both traditional and non-traditional asset classes. Their Global Income Builder approach invests across a broad spectrum of global bonds and equities, aiming to build a portfolio that generates sustainable and stable income, and capital appreciation.
Schroder's investment philosophy may appeal to investors who want their money to be managed by an award-winning team with a proven track record of superior performance. They hold the belief that no one fund manager can excel in every aspect of investing and therefore access the best fund and investment products from around the world. The investment teams are bonded by a strong culture and heritage based on independent, long-term investment thinking.
SEI uses a mix of specialist investment managers with distinct management styles. As a manager-of-managers, SEI decides where to invest and, after rigorous research, which managers to hire. This oversight includes daily monitoring of investment transactions and the replacement of investment managers if they fail to meet their objectives or if better investment opportunities arise in new areas. SEI hires managers who are generally only available to institutions and high net worth individuals.
7IM's style is to use a single fund manager who follows a disciplined passive investment approach. Passive investing is defined as money being invested in lower-cost passive investments such as Exchange Traded Funds and Index Funds. These funds are then bought and sold to track the return of a particular index, for example the FTSE 100, rather than beat it. 7IM believe that the correct asset allocation is the most important performance factor and as such their investment committee reviews global markets before tactically altering the strategic asset allocation of any of their funds.
How We Manage Our Partners
True Potential Investments has ongoing oversight to assess what their investments partners have done for you. This is stronger than the usual process of asking them what they plan to do, giving you greater assurance.
They continually monitor the True Potential Wealth Strategy Funds and True Potential Managed Portfolios to make sure they perform as expected and remain within your chosen risk profile.
Here's how True Potential Investments assess their partners:
- Continual: Monitor your investment against its objective and risk profile
- Monthly: Meet partners to assess and discuss performance, review whether to rebalance Managed Portfolios
- Quarterly: Investment Committee meet to review Wealth Strategy Funds and Managed Portfolios
- Annually: Review client profile characteristics and apply to fund objectives for coming year
If you have any questions about True Potential Investments' selection or ongoing management of their investment partners, please contact me.
Your capital is at risk. Investments can fluctuate in value and you may not get back the amount you invest. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Tax rules can change at any time.

Written with Diane Loviglio.
This is the last in the 5-part series on the field research in Brazil. Read the introductory post, the post about money strategies in Brazil, the post on where people get their phones and the post on phone usage.
We went to Brazil to study how the middle class thinks about and uses phones so we could design the best user experience for V1 and plan for V2. We came back with much more. We identified four motivators that shape how middle classes in emerging markets think about themselves and plan for their futures. This report explores how Firefox OS can support these motivators to bring about a shift in mobile behaviors for emerging markets.
- Core existing behaviors heavily engrained into daily actions
- New behaviors people are open to adopting if it moves them towards their goals
- Aspire long-term goals people want to achieve
Enrique uses his aunt's credit card to make purchases for his home, whcih is a good example of a core behavior. He says, "after having paid my fan and my sofa off, I set out to dip into some savings. I talked to my aunt, and with most things I buy, I use my aunt's credit card. I gave her a down payment and then I financed the rest on the card. Most of my things were bought with her credit card because her credit limit is higher."
Rosa is a good example of a new behavior. She bought health insurance for her kids, she says says it's "…expensive, but I'm not willing to give it up in order to get something for the house." She wants to make sure they are taken care of when she is not around anymore.
Hector says, "Even though I'm building a house now, I still dream of a high rise apartment for my family. It would be through small steps, you know. One step at a time. I will save some money and sell some stuff, but one day I believe I'll get there. Maybe 20 or 30 years from now, I don't know. I will work hard a lot and sweat to get there." This is very much an aspire behavior; he's planning on achieving long term goals during his life time.
The process by which emerging markets are modifying old behaviors and adopting new ones in response to socio-economic movement is what we're calling the climb.
Mobile users in emerging markets are becoming more sophisticated and we need to support those needs. Today the common mobile behaviors are calling and texting for basic communication and listening to the radio and their MP3 players; watching TV and videos; and playing games. But the real opportunity is in the download and share parts of the hierarchy of needs.
We need to understand how to best support existing (core) behaviors, help create new behaviors in the shift phase, and provide the desired future behaviors. We can do this by designing with the four motivators in mind.
The four emerging market motivators are
- Provide a better life for my children
- Gain independence
- Leave or extend a legacy
- Moving up the socio-economic ladder
Provide a better life for my children
Parents have money and time to provide "extras," and they are making sure their children have leisure time – two things that may not have been plentiful in their childhoods. Parents are also focusing on their children's futures by planning for unforeseen situations. Planning ahead is a new behavior for this group.
Gain Independence
People define independence differently, but there are a few consistent themes:
- Cars/Motorbikes = freedom from public transit
- Internet at home = ability to get online whenever you want and stay on as long as you want
- Cable/Dish = wide range of news and entertainment from around the world
Leave or extend a legacy
Adult children are using extra money and actively planning large purchases, to fulfill parents' dreams such as owning a specific refrigerator. Adult children want to extend their parents' legacies as well as create their own for their children.
Move up the socio-economic ladder
People have a huge sense of pride for all they've accomplished, and are extremely positive about their futures. They expect to "work hard and sweat" to achieve their dreams, but believe it will happen in their lifetimes. People are realistic, however. They know it will take time to accomplish their goals.
In order to ensure our relevancy across the entire "climb" process because we are supporting all types of behaviors whether core or aspirational, we need to develop and design with the motivators in mind.

Party Affiliation: Independent.
Age: 44
Family: Married, two children.
Town of Residence: Centreville.

What do you believe are the major issues in the 40th District? Topping the list is transportation. The Virginia Department of Transportation has more than 10,000 employees whose driving objective is roads, roads, roads. That is misguided. Our vibrant local economy is dependent on the large immigrant population that would benefit from not having to own a car. We can build good light rail now. For a fraction of the cost of destructive road building, we can compliment the current infrastructure with light rail connecting the pockets of the most frequented congestion. Tysons to Springfield would connect major living, shopping and services including the hospital. Same here in Centreville. We can run a line to Dulles along Route 28 without much expense or disruption. It is time for rail now.
What qualities, qualifications and characteristics will you bring to this office? Before getting my degree in public policy, I did canvassing/activist work for the Independent Party and ACORN in the 1980s. After my degree, I have continued to study the issues and have formulated a series of legislative initiatives that are not being addressed by the two major parties.
I am the most proud of my two outstanding children. My 5-year-old is getting the best part of his education at home. He goes to public school as a supplement to his education. I also enjoyed being a foster parent to nine children who needed a temporary home. I believe we need to utilize all of our resources, whether governmental or private charities, to develop a stronger adoption- and foster-care network.
How will voters best distinguish between you and your opponent? Because I am one of the thousands of hard-working taxpayers who have become disillusioned by the two major political parties that are financed by "big-money" and corporations. They spew the same rhetoric year after year. Most of them do not even send their children to public schools, so they just cannot relate.
Any viable social or fiscal issue does not make it to the agenda unless it is sponsored by a well-paid backer. This business of politics-as-usual must stop.
It is time a citizen lawmaker goes to Richmond with the voter's agenda in hand. I will keep a full-time survey ongoing to determine the issues most important to our constituents.
If I'm elected, I will … continue with the original plan to eliminate personal property taxes by proposing legislation to replace them with higher taxes on cigarettes, alcohol and gasoline — carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced now.
I will also propose term limits of no more than 10 years for the House members and 12 for senators. We need a turnover in representation to promote a progressive agenda and prevent the complacency that is perpetuated by incumbents running unopposed.
At the state level, we have an entrenched bureaucracy that has protected job status, and little accountability that we should no longer tolerate. It is time that every state employee position be evaluated and analyzed for a possible merge or automation. That should eliminate one-third of the positions. Same with all state programs. There should be no automatic renewal without a thorough evaluation. Tough, and sometimes unpopular, actions must be taken in this time of fiscal crises.
Why should people vote for you? My view is that as long as the overall philosophy of a candidate is acceptable, I do not have to be in absolute agreement with him or her on every issue. Margaret Mead states, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
After spending four years in the Republican Party, I never really felt like I belonged. [U.S.] Sen. [Trent] Lott summarized the Republican social sentiment last week by claiming that had [U.S. Sen.] Strom Thurmond won the presidency in 1948, our country would not have so many problems, implying that he favored continued segregation instead of civil rights. This is indicative of the Republican mentality today.
I will not be silent about the injustices being committed starting at the top levels of government. We cannot sit idly by while our oilman president prepares to destroy more human lives so we can control the world's richest oil fields. We can draft a resolution in the General Assembly that condemns more violence against an already impoverished population. How is it that these individuals that claim to be pro-life find no remorse in destroying innocent civilians including children? It is no wonder the world views the U.S. as the aggressor.

Chen Shui-bian (traditional Chinese: 陳水扁; simplified Chinese: 陈水扁; pinyin: Chén Shuǐbiǎn; Taiwanese: Tân Chúi-píⁿ; born October 12, 1950) is a former Taiwanese politician who was the 10th and 11th-term President of the Republic of China from 2000 to 2008. Chen, whose Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has traditionally been supportive of Taiwan independence, ended more than fifty years of Kuomintang (KMT) rule in Taiwan. He is colloquially referred to as A-Bian (阿扁; Ābiǎn; Taiwanese: 阿扁仔 A-píⁿ-à).
Chen entered politics in 1980 as a lawyer during the Kaohsiung Incident, Chen entered politics as a member of the Tangwai movement and was elected to the Taipei City Council in 1981. Chen was jailed in 1985 for libel as the editor of the weekly pro-democracy magazine Neo-Formosa, following publication of an article critical of Elmer Feng, a college philosophy professor who was later elected a Kuomintang legislator. After being released, Chen helped found the DPP in 1986 and was elected a member of the Legislative Yuan in 1989, and Mayor of Taipei in 1994.
Chen won the 2000 presidential election on March 18 with 39% of the vote as a result of a split of factions within the Kuomintang, when James Soong ran for the presidency as an independent against the party nominee Lien Chan, becoming the only non-member of the Kuomintang to hold the office of president. Although Chen received high approval ratings during the first few weeks of his term, his popularity sharply dropped due to alleged corruption within the Chen administration and the inability to pass legislation against the opposition KMT, who controlled the Legislative Yuan. In 2004, he won reelection by a narrow margin after surviving a shooting while campaigning the day before the election. The incident was widely suspected as politically staged, and investigations into the incident was inconclusive.

Roger Ebert, blog post : Why 3D doesn't work and never will. Case closed. with the help of Walter Murch, tries to use some science to explain that 3D won't ever work, but gets the science wrong.
Here is my reply (on his blog) in response to his post:
While there are issues with 3D presentation, the claim that the "convergence/focus" issue makes 3D unsolvable is false. There is an error made in the assumption that "the audience must focus their eyes at the plane of the screen"; while that is generally true for objects close to a viewer in space, it is not true for a movie screen "80 feet away."
In optics there is the concept of hyper-focal distances -- there is a focal distance in which a lens will resolve all objects at that distance and beyond such that they appear in focus. The human eye is just another lens. While calculating the hyper-focal distance of the human eye is tricky, and likely has a good degree of variance between subjects, the distance for theatrical viewing is well beyond the needed range for all but Superman. Various ways of computing the hyper-focal range of the eye suggests that objects from around 15 feet to infinity will appear in focus. That means a 3D presentation that has objects appearing no closer than 15 feet and beyond will appear in focus whether the audience is focusing at the screen plane or not -- the eye is free to converge and focus anywhere within the volume of space projected, just as it naturally would.
While there are many areas that can and should be improved, presentation brightness, left/right cross-talk, glasses comfort, and the artistic battle of shallow vs deep depth of field for 3D, eye focusing for theatrical presentations is not an issue.
I wrote more technical details about this when Daniel Engber's article in Slate made the same claim on my blog (here.)
David Newman
CTO, CineForm
Update 01/25/2011: I see that lots of people are reading this. Thank you for dropping by. Some twitter comments have asked "what about TV, that is less than 15 feet away?" Fortunately the same optical principles apply, just with a smaller 3D volume -- which I have covered prevously here. A theatrical 3D release which might have 3D preceived depth from half way to the screen to infinty, has its depth shrunk when placed on a 5-10X smaller screen, resulting in a 3D volume say from 6 to 30+ feet, which happens to be within the depth of field for the human eye for a screen placed 12 feet away. As the screen shrinks further, so does the 3D volume, allowing 3D to work within the eyes abilities at most scales.

The museum has exhibitions on the history of the Jewish community in Augsburg and the rural Bavarian Swabia region and also contains religious and cultural artefacts.
The museum is housed in the Augsburg Synagogue, which was built between 1914 and 1917 and unites elements of art nouveau, Byzantian and modernist styles. The building was badly damaged during the 'Night of Broken Glass' in 1938 but was restored in 1985.

Source code: Lib/operator.py
The operator module exports a set of efficient functions corresponding to the intrinsic operators of Python. For example, operator.add(x, y) is equivalent to the expression x+y. The function names are those used for special class methods; variants without leading and trailing __ are also provided for convenience.
The functions fall into categories that perform object comparisons, logical operations, mathematical operations and sequence operations.
The object comparison functions are useful for all objects, and are named after the rich comparison operators they support:
Perform "rich comparisons" between a and b. Specifically, lt(a, b) is equivalent to a < b, le(a, b) is equivalent to a <= b, eq(a, b) is equivalent to a == b, ne(a, b) is equivalent to a != b, gt(a, b) is equivalent to a > b and ge(a, b) is equivalent to a >= b. Note that these functions can return any value, which may or may not be interpretable as a Boolean value. See Comparisons for more information about rich comparisons.
The logical operations are also generally applicable to all objects, and support truth tests, identity tests, and boolean operations:
Return the outcome of not obj. (Note that there is no __not__() method for object instances; only the interpreter core defines this operation. The result is affected by the __bool__() and __len__() methods.)
Return True if obj is true, and False otherwise. This is equivalent to using the bool constructor.
Return a is b. Tests object identity.
Return a is not b. Tests object identity.
The mathematical and bitwise operations are the most numerous:
Return a converted to an integer. Equivalent to a.__index__().
Return the bitwise inverse of the number obj. This is equivalent to ~obj.
Return a / b where 2/3 is .66 rather than 0. This is also known as "true" division.
Operations which work with sequences (some of them with mappings too) include:
Return the outcome of the test b in a. Note the reversed operands.
Return the number of occurrences of b in a.
Return the index of the first of occurrence of b in a.
Return an estimated length for the object o. First try to return its actual length, then an estimate using object.__length_hint__(), and finally return the default value.
New in version 3.4.
The operator module also defines tools for generalized attribute and item lookups. These are useful for making fast field extractors as arguments for map(), sorted(), itertools.groupby(), or other functions that expect a function argument.
Return a callable object that fetches attr from its operand. If more than one attribute is requested, returns a tuple of attributes. The attribute names can also contain dots. For example:
Equivalent to:
def attrgetter(*items):
if any(not isinstance(item, str) for item in items):
raise TypeError('attribute name must be a string')
if len(items) == 1:
attr = items[0]
def g(obj):
return resolve_attr(obj, attr)
def g(obj):
return tuple(resolve_attr(obj, attr) for attr in items)
return g
def resolve_attr(obj, attr):
for name in attr.split("."):
obj = getattr(obj, name)
return obj
Return a callable object that fetches item from its operand using the operand's __getitem__() method. If multiple items are specified, returns a tuple of lookup values. For example:
Equivalent to:
def itemgetter(*items):
if len(items) == 1:
item = items[0]
def g(obj):
return obj[item]
def g(obj):
return tuple(obj[item] for item in items)
return g
The items can be any type accepted by the operand's __getitem__() method. Dictionaries accept any hashable value. Lists, tuples, and strings accept an index or a slice:
>>> itemgetter(1)('ABCDEFG')
>>> itemgetter(1,3,5)('ABCDEFG')
>>> itemgetter(slice(2,None))('ABCDEFG')
Example of using itemgetter() to retrieve specific fields from a tuple record:
>>> inventory = [('apple', 3), ('banana', 2), ('pear', 5), ('orange', 1)]
>>> getcount = itemgetter(1)
>>> list(map(getcount, inventory))
[3, 2, 5, 1]
>>> sorted(inventory, key=getcount)
[('orange', 1), ('banana', 2), ('apple', 3), ('pear', 5)]
Return a callable object that calls the method name on its operand. If additional arguments and/or keyword arguments are given, they will be given to the method as well. For example:
Equivalent to:
def methodcaller(name, *args, **kwargs):
def caller(obj):
return getattr(obj, name)(*args, **kwargs)
return caller

Many operations have an "in-place" version. Listed below are functions providing a more primitive access to in-place operators than the usual syntax does; for example, the statement x += y is equivalent to x = operator.iadd(x, y). Another way to put it is to say that z = operator.iadd(x, y) is equivalent to the compound statement z = x; z += y.
In those examples, note that when an in-place method is called, the computation and assignment are performed in two separate steps. The in-place functions listed below only do the first step, calling the in-place method. The second step, assignment, is not handled.
For immutable targets such as strings, numbers, and tuples, the updated value is computed, but not assigned back to the input variable:
>>> a = 'hello'
>>> iadd(a, ' world')
'hello world'
>>> a
For mutable targets such as lists and dictionaries, the inplace method will perform the update, so no subsequent assignment is necessary:
>>> s = ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
>>> iadd(s, [' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'])
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']
>>> s
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']
a = iconcat(a, b) is equivalent to a += b for a and b sequences.
a = ifloordiv(a, b) is equivalent to a //= b.

A comment left by Argent on my article about the maximum amount of stamina got me thinking. How does player health stack and scale against NPC health? I quoted 17,500 unbuffed health as a good target for maxed unbuffed stamina, which equates to about 22,000 health fully raid buffed (possibly more depending on group, consumables, and talent composition).
So, let's take a look at what some mobs are that have around 22,000 to 23,000 health. Remember, this is as much as a fully equipped tier six warrior will probably have in raid.
